Music reviews of Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection (Bonus DVD)
Music Review: Closer & Closer : She Almost Got it Right
Rating: 4 Stars
Every Tori Amos Record is an occasion worth celebrating, and so it was with "Tales of a Librarian", which remains her only official 'Greatest Hits' Album, at this point. I actually think this album does a great job of introducing Tori Amos to newer audiences, especially ones who would do well to start with her more 'mainstream' music and then progress to her more esoteric and experimental pieces.
This set came before the "Scarlets' Walk" Era, and I find every song choice impeccable (even ones that other reviewers seem to complain about). My take is that if you approach this as a Tori fan (as I have been for years), you are bound to be disappointed (I see these are the same critics who have bad things to say even about her mammoth 5-CD Piano Box Collection). However, if you recognize that this is perhaps the best introduction to Amos that you can possibly get on CD, then you'll appreciate it for what it is.
The two new tracks are great. "Snow Cherries from France" in particular is really great, and its not even mentioned these days. Pity, because it closes a really spectacular album, really. They made a great decision to include "Precious Things" as the first track here, as I consider it one of her all time best singles. And how nice that they chose to include a B-Side, "Sweet Dreams" on this as well - along with "Take to the Sky" (not on this album), they were the best things on her "Winter" EP back in the day.
Tori Amos is a revolutionary musician, and I believe she has changed the musical landscape. Though it might seem like she has a huge fanbase, a huge majority of people actually still don't know anything about her work past "Crucify". This edition is meant for those people. If you want to start someone off on the road to Amos, this is your album to do that with.
